LOCATION> SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
SCENE> STILL IN THE DINING ROOM OF THE PARADOX HEADQUARTERS.
PRIEST HAS REGAINED SOME DEGREE OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND STILL FEELS
THE EFFECTS OF THE DRUG, HAS ALOS BEEN COVERED UP WITH A BLANKET<Priest> ::blinks and looks around:: Maybe it was
all a bad dream...
<Tactile> ::walks back into the room and notices
Priest::{{What happened to the boy scout?}}
<Static> ::Slumped in his seat at the table, his face
slightly dark::
<Genesis> Oh.. we all do. ::glances at Tactile:: Do not
even ask.
<Tactile> ::raises a brow::{{Um....ok.}}
<Priest> ::looks up at a clock that's spinning really
really really fast:: Or not...
<Kali> ::Sits on her bed, her wings folded primly behind
her back.:: How much longer is he going to be like this?
<Tactile> ((This covering is starting to break.))::'s
covering cracks and falls off, as he walks to the metal wall to
touch it and passes by Priest in his wierd energy form that can
mess with undrugged people's eyes::
<Genesis> The drug seems to still be lingering with him...
not much longer though. Should have burnt out already though.
<Priest> ::looks at the sheets as they start to hover in
front of him and go booga booga booga::
<Kali> I see... ::Crosses her arms and looks around.::
<Genesis> ::looks at the look Priest has:: Oh no..
::presses a button on his seat::ACTION> THE DOOR SLIDES OPEN AND A YOUNG LADY WALKS
IN, WITH SILVER HAIR, BEAUTIFUL BODY, AND RATHER REVEALING
CLOTHING. BOMBSHELL ENTERS AFTER HER, HAVING BEEN ESCORTED THERE
AFTER WAKING UP<Tactile> ::takes the metal wall as a cover::
<Static> ((So..I get to see dear old dad, again..After all
these years..)) ::Closes his eyes and clenches a fist:: ((I still
blame him for Mom's death..))
<Static> ::Glances over, as the door slides open::
<Tactile> ::glances over at the women and walks over
there::{{Hello ladies.
<Tactile> }}
<Genesis> Ah, I see another one has awakened. ::smiles,
looking at Bombshell strangely:: Hello, Lily
<Kali> ::Glances up and arches an eyebrow.:: ((I remember
seeing the rebel, the other isn't familer.))
<Priest> ::starts to sing softly:: I've got a lov - e - ly
bunch of coconuts, deedeleedee...
<Bombshell> Hi.. ::blinks a couple times:: still feel a
little out of it so excuse me
<Bombshell> What's going on?
<Bombshell> ::stretches::
<Kali> No one has expected anything from any one, do not
worry. ::Gestures to Priest.:: He has had a bit too much to
drink.
<Genesis> Quite alright. ::looks towards the other woman::
Angela, could you please take Priest here and make sure he
doesn't hurt himself? ::glances at the fallen guards:: or anyone
else for that matter.
<Static> ::Thumbs towards Priest:: What she said. I suggest
you stay clear of him
<Bombshell> sorta... odd for someone who calls himself
Preist isn't it?
<Static> ::Shrugs:: A bit, yeah..
<Angela> ::nods:: Of course. ::smiles, walking past Priest
and tugging him along by the sheet:: Come along..
<Kali> He did not have an idea what was in the lquid. I'd
must admit he put on a rather good show..
<Priest> Hellooooo, nurse Angela!
<Genesis> ::looks back at the others:: I believe you were
all curious about the ore's whereabouts?
<Bombshell> that would be nice
<Bombshell> ::quickly glances at her hand::
<Static> ::Shoots a glare at Kali:: Yeah, well..you weren't
the one he fell on..::Glances at Genesis:: Yeah..among other
things.
<Tactile> ::turns to Genesis::{{That bloody thing caused me
to unconscious!}}
<Ned> ::remains oddly silent::
<Bombshell> ((Maybe I can finally take this thing off...))
<Genesis> ::gives Tactile a strange look:: Must have been
something you did.ACTION> ANGELA AND PRIEST LEAVE THE ROOM, THE DOOR
SLIDING CLOSED BEHIND THEM<Tactile> ::glares at Genesis::{{I tried to use it
as a covering...If it would do that to me then it muyst be
studied.}}
<Static> It reacted, when I accidently brushed one of my
blades, against it, Genesis. ::Fixes him with a cold stare:: How,
prey tell, do you explain that? They only work on LIVING beings.
<Genesis> I see. You're lucky it didn't destroy you
completely. ::stands up:: Shall we go check on the ore then?
<Bombshell> Where... are we again? ::slight blush::
<Bombshell> I've been out of it for so long I can't
remember
<Kali> We're in Seattle right now.
<Genesis> Simple.. the ore reacts to energy. you're blades
are energy. I see you ran away before completely very much
schooling. ::smiles at Bombshell:: Seattle, Paradox headquarters
<Bombshell> oh... right
<Bombshell> ::ties her hair back into a small ponytail and
looks to the others:: I'm ready as soon as you guys are
<Genesis> ::walks towards the doorway they entered in::
Come then.
<Tactile> ::turns to Bombshell::{{Ready for what?}}
<Static> ::Glares at Genesis:: ((Oh no you don't..I don't
buy that for an instant..you're hiding something, Genesis..))
::Frowns:: ((And I intend to find out just what makes you so
determined to get rid of that ore..)) ::Stands and follows the
others::
<Bombshell> Ready to go after the ore
<Bombshell> err
<Bombshell> I'm going after Pike
<Tactile> ::quirks a brow::{{I was about to say the ore is
right here....And why would we be going after um..Pike I think it
was?}}
<Bombshell> Right.*******INTERLUDE 1********<Bombshell> Well... I wish you all the best of
luck thenSCENE> ANGELA CONTINUES TO LEAD PRIEST DOWN A
CORRIDOR, WALKING SEDUCTIVELY AHEAD OF HIM, STILL DRAGGING HIM
ALONG BY THE SHEET<Priest> We going for a walk through the park?
::giggles::
<Angela> Why we'd need a leash for that. ::::grins evilly,
entering a room tha tlooks very much like a bedroom::
<Priest> Oooh, this is a nice hospital room? When do I get
my Jell-O?
<Angela> Oooh.. I like how you think.

"STRATEGIC RETREAT" FROM MANY ARMED GUARDS PURSUING
THEM THROUGH THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE BUILDING<Maverick> uh..we need a way out of here and quick
::glances up looking for a ventalation shaft of some sorts::
<Tripstar> Great... we can't let them recapture us! ::looks
around for an exit::
<Redwood> ::frowns:: this is harder than i thought......
<Jaxion> ::runs as fast as he can, ducking laser fire:: No
shock! Keep running! ::heads for a room down at the end of the
corridor:: That looks good!
<Redwood> ::runs after jaxion::
<Maverick> ::runs down the corridor sending a blast at the
advancing guards::
<Tripstar> ::follows the others::
<Redwood> what if its a dead end??
<Jaxion> Then it's just as useful as running that way!
::points in the guards' direction::
<Maverick> ::ducks laser fire as he heads towards the
room::you got a point
<Jaxion> ::skids into the room, moving for the control
panel:: Get in!
<Tripstar> ::jumps in room::

OBVIOUSLY A HANGAR<Jaxion> Umm.. ::grins,looking around:: What now?
Hope one of us knows how to fly one of these.
<Redwood> we hit the jackpot!
<Maverick> ::grins widely::
<Jaxion> None unless we know how to work oen of these
things!
<Tripstar> ::sizes up the aircrafts:: So, anyone know how
to fly?
<Redwood> maybe it has auto-pilot?ACTION> THEY CAN HEAR THE GUARDS BLASTING THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE DOOR<Maverick> blast it!we will learn as we go! better
than waiting here and getting caught
<Jaxion> ::glances back at the door:: Figure that out
later, get in one!
<Maverick> ::runs for the aircraft::
<Redwood> ::follows mav to an aircraft::
<Tripstar> ::looks for the one in the best shape:: Let's
take this one...
<Jaxion> Oh just pick one! ::glnaces one more time at the
door and runs after them::
<Maverick> ::hops in the pilot seat hitting switches to
power it on::

<Redwood> ::climbs into a seat::
<Tripstar> ::climns in aircraft::ACTION> THE AIRCRAFT STARTS TO SHAKE SLIGHTLY<Maverick> ::smirks seeing everyone get in:: strap

<Redwood> ::puts on her seat belt::
<Tripstar> Here we go... ::buckles up::

sliding open under us.. you better know. ::jumps in a seat,
strapping in::
<Maverick> ::brings the ship to a hover and takes her out::ACTION> THE DOORS OPEN COMPLETELY, AND THE AIRCRAFT

SCENE> ANGELA'S ROOM. PRIEST IS GAGGED AND HOGTIED BY THE
SHEET HE WAS WEARING BEFORE, ON THE FLOOR. ANGELA ISN'T ANYWHERE
IN SIGHT.<Priest> ::muffled:: This isn't fun anymore, how
am I supposed to "go seek" if I'm tied up?
<Jaxion> Angela> Yeeha! New game now. Rodeo! ::steps out
in a cowgirl costume that looks like its from a porno, and an
energy whip:: *******INTERLUDE END*******
SCENE> GENESIS IS LEADING THE MORLOCKS DOWNTHE CORRIDOR, ACCES
HAVING JUST JOINED THEM AFTER WAKING UP. ALL ON THEIR WAY TO THE
ORE.<Bombshell> I'll need transportation you know
<Tactile> ::looks around::((Where are we going now...))
<Genesis> To the ore. It's being contained in the lab.
::glances at Bombshell:: I wuold like it if you'd stay for
awhile. I could assist you in your struggle against Primus.
<Kali> ::Walks quitely behind the group, scouting out the
area around them.::
<Bombshell> I'd rather take the fight to Pike alone. He's
my problem and none of yours
<Static> ::Walks forward, a scowl on his face::
<Bombshell> I owe him
<Genesis> Ah, but Pike is now an employee of Primus. Taking
him on alone is not very likely.
<Bombshell> ::sighs:: it's not fair
<Static> ::Glances at Bombshell:: Hey, you helped us, so in
a way we owe you, too.
<Bombshell> ::shakes her hand:: Ned, are you awake yet?ACTION> THEY ENTER THE LAB. MANY MEN IN LABCOATS
RUNNING ABOUT, SWARMING AROUND THE ORE WITH IS CONTAINED IN A
FIELD, WITH MANY DEVICES PROBING INTO IT<Bombshell> ::gasps slightly:: isn't that
dangerous?
<Ned> ::trying to be quiet as he can:: shhh..
<Tactile> ::glances at the ore and such::{{What is so
important about the ore?}}
<Kali> ((So this is the ore they're talking about...))
<Bombshell> ((What..?))
<Static> ::Frowns, eyeing the ore:: ((I just can't shake
the feeling, that there's more to that thing, than it just being
some ore..))
<Genesis> The ore itself is nothing but useless slag. What
intrigues everybody is its energy manipulating capabilities. No
one knows how it is done, if they did they could replicate the
process and that would be quite dangerous. And while that process
is unknown, this ore is quite valuable.
<Genesis> ::walks up to the field, eyeing the ore::
<Bombshell> ::whispers:: Ned...why are you being so quiet?
<Ned> ixnay on the ednay.. enes...enesay.. err.. dont let
genesis know. tell you later.
<Static> ::Narrows his eyes, as he stares at the ore::
((Yeah..right..so if that's the case, then how come you want it
destroyed so badly? I somehow doubt it's because of the 'danger
it may prove to be to all of mankind'..))
<LabTechnician> ::walks up to Genesis:: Progress has been
made. Though it will still take come time to be complete.
<Bombshell> ::mutters:: great... knew things would get
complicated..
<Kali> ::Glares at the ore and sighs.:: ((I feel so..
useless...))
<Genesis> In case any of you are curious as to what is
being done to the ore right now. We are in the process of
destroying it. In time, it will slowly deteriorate into a harmess
subenergy state.
<Tactile> ::clenches his fists::((Should just break that
bloody thing right here..))
<Access> ::nods slightly and glances back at the ore, eyes
glow and then return to normal::
<Static> ::Crosses his arms, eyeing the ore:: ((I think I
may have to pay a visit to dear old Dad, after all..))
<Kali> How could it do that?
<Genesis> ::glances at kali:: Do what?
<Kali> Turn it into subenergy... I'm not familer with the
methoids such as this.
<Genesis> It's.. rather complex and uses bigger words than
I am able to say really. Basically.. it's being beyond
disinegrated.ACTION> ALARMS GO OFF IN THE LAB, LIGHTS FLASHING ALL
AROUND<Static> ::Looks up, at the alarms:: What's going
on?ACTION> SOME LAB TECHNICIANS SCREAM OTU AS EQUIPMENT
EXPLODES AROUND THE ORE<Access> ::eyes start to glow again:: What d'..?
<LabTechnician> It's resisting the process! Something's
happening!
<Bombshell> we have to save 'em
<Tactile> ::quickly goes alert and looks at the ore::{{What
the blood...err hell is going on here?!?}}
<Genesis> ::eyes flare violently:: This can't happen!
Destroy it! Now!
<Static> ::Quirks an eyebrow:: I recommend everyone get
away from that thing..
<Bombshell> Get the people out first!
<Bombshell> :;rushes over to grab any of the lab techs out
of there::*******INTERLUDE 1*******

THE AIR, AS GRAVITY IN THE ROOM HAS BEEN LOWERED

lot fun, ya know that, Angela?ACTION> ANGELA FLIES INTO HIM, WITHT HE HELP OF A HIGH
POWER JET PACK AND THEY BOTH CRASH INTO A WALL WITH A LOUD CRASH<Angela> ::stands over him, holding a strange
looking cannon with energy crackling at the end... and
tentacles:: Yes, I know
<Priest> So what're we going to play-- ::crashes:: --you
play rough.. I.. think.. I like it.. rough... ******INTERLUDE 2******
SCENE> THE AIRCRAFT IS STILL PLUMMETING TO THE GROUND FAR FAR
BELOW<Maverick> i think i have this figured out ::hits
a switch and works the controls to stop their decent::
<Tripstar> Argh! Do something!!!! ::whiteknuckles seat::
<Redwood> ((why does this sort of thing always happen to
me................????))
<Jaxion> Maveriiiick! Hurry!ACTION> THE FREEFALL STOPS ABRUPTLY<Maverick> ::hits a switch and cuts the engines
on:: have a place in mind to go? ::wipes sweat from his
forehead::

AIRCRAFT ARE RAPIDLY APPROACHING.<Tripstar> Yikes! We've got company!
